True chick lit, pun intended. I don't usually read this sort of book, but picked it up as an antidote to some heavier reading I also had. The characters are, except for Logan's sister Raine, cardboard, including Logan and Bailey themselves. Billy Ray is vastly overdone. I won't be reading any more by Spindler. I was disgusted with myself for finishing it.
